I think we all like this small, spiny and easy to grow plant. It's OK at ordinary times, but it's easy to hang up in winter. This article introduces how golden fingers spend the winter.

Goldfinger wintering 1: entering the room

Winter is coming, when you add clothes, by the way, look at the golden fingers. Especially when the temperature drops to about 5 ℃, it must be moved indoors, or from the open balcony to the indoor balcony. Basically, the temperature of the indoor balcony will not be very low, and it is safe to overwinter on the balcony.

Goldfinger wintering II: mulch

The cold winter in the north is really too cold, but it is hard to avoid suffocation at home. You can spare time to put your golden fingers outside for wind skating, or put them on the open balcony for maintenance, and you can cover them with a protective film.

The simplest way is to use the plastic wrap or plastic bag at home and cover it directly. If there are more cacti, you can find a large paper box to cover it.

Goldfinger wintering 3: water control

At this time of winter, we must control the watering. We can say that we should stop watering. Even if the soil is dry again, we should not easily touch the water. If the water drips into ice, the golden fingers will not survive so easily. Wait until the temperature gets warmer in spring before watering.

Goldfinger overwintering 4: stop fattening

Golden fingers don't grow in cold weather, so they don't need fertilizer. Even if fertilization has no effect, it will cause fertilizer damage in spring.

The growth period and flowering period of golden fingers need to be fertilized, and other times generally do not need to be fertilized.
